Henry Ward Beeeher,

The great divine and orator, who en-
joyed good health, has been called
suddenly to the bourne from which no
traveller returns, This is but one plain
example to thousands which shows
that any strain, waste or overtaxation
of the mental faculties may become
disastrous at once in even apparent
health. While any waste of the ply
steal portions may. soon be repaired, any
deficiency; In the mental or nervous
system may cause collapse without
any warning, especially if caused by
over energy or indigestion. Any rem
edy which nourishes the nervous sys-
tenn, perfects the digestion, enabling
body and soul to hold their own should
not be overlooked. Phosphate Lemon
Rye the great nerve tonic and positive
cure for dyspepsia will do it.

sLANDERs AND FACTS.
CLINTON Iowa, Aug. 6,


NIcHOLETTs 4 AMSTERDAM: Dear
Sirs:-The following letter is going the
rounds of the papers in this section:
writes that last Friday morning the
fields of corn in that section were look
imp splendid, green, straight and full;
the hot wind sprang up from the south
during the day and before night every
stalk of corn in the state was burned
up yellow and is total loss. The
farmers there (Kansas) have nothing
to depend on to pay taxes, rent or in
terest and are applying by thousands
for work to earn money to keep them
over winter" Yours Truly,
JNO. F. MCGUIRE.
Capt. Nicholletts sends US the above
letter as a specimen of the way in
which Kansas is slandered. State
ments SO overdrawn need no contra
diction here at home. For the benefit
however, of eastern readers who have
seen similar letters it may be we'll that
a plain, unvarnished statement of the
facts be given.
In the first place the above letter is
evidently forgery in part, at least, as
there is no Green county in Kansas.
In the second place no one days hot
winds ever killed the corn all over the
state. In the third place the farmers
are not applying by thousands" or by
any lesser number. for work to keep
them over the winter. So much for
the letter and for what are not facts.
Now as to what are facts. 1t must
be understood in the first place that
the rains of this season have teen al
together local. There has not been a
general rain all over the state since
spring opened. This fact will explain
the apparently contradictory reports
that come from even adjoining counties
There are some localities that truth
fully report full crop. This seems to
be true. for example, along the lower
Arkansas Valley and in the extreme
southeastern part of the state. There
are other localities that report total
failure, as Ottawa county, in the north
central portion. In general it must be
admitted that the corn crop, the state
over, will probablynot reach more than
one third of what it promised the first
of July. In this respect, however,
Kansas is not worse off thap Illinois,
Indiana and other great corn produc-
ing states. Nor must it be forgotten
that Kansas has raised other crops be-
sides corn, Flax was good crop. Po-
tatoes have never yielded better nor
been of finer quality. Oats wers hurt
by the chinch bugs but there was an
immense acreage and the total yield
was large.
So Kansas is not bankrupt and there
will be no exodus. In the extreme
western counties where the settlers de-
pended solely on their corn crop, there
will be privation and the farmers will
have to seek outside means to support
their families. But in the older coun-
ties there will be no such necessity.
Kansas has not done so well this year
as we would have liked to see her, but
she has done as well as she could un-
der the circumstances. And she will
come up smiling and happy next year
as usual, the gentleman from Screen"
county Notwithstanding.
